A Cut Above - Steak Exploration in aid of Movember

Published on 20 November 2014

Steak (man’s other best friend) was the original inspiration for the Gentlemen’s Academy so it holds a special place in our hearts (figuratively and literally most likely). It was over regular steak nights that the Academy was dreamed up, on what was known then as Man Friday.

Our previous meat related classes, a butchery and steak evening also proved some of our most popular ever undertaken so we are going back for our third helping with A Cut Above - Steak Exploration.

At a glance:
Date: Sunday 30th November.
Location: The Drury Buildings, Dublin 2
Time: 4pm
Details: Cocktail on arrival, starter, steak course, dessert and wine as well as talks from both breeder/ butchers and chef.
Cost and tickets: €65 from https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/a-cut-above-tickets-14548451811

Further info:
This Sunday, Gilligan’s Meats will take us on a journey into the beef process from farm to fork. As both breeders and butchers there are few in the country better placed for such a class. They also supply some of the best restaurants in Dublin so chances are you have already sampled their delicious wares. The feast will be cooked up by head chef at The Drury Buildings who will also give us a few words on cooking technique.

Proceeds from the evening will go to Movember - changing the face of men’s health.

This event is open to all, members, non members, ladies, parents, anyone! It could be the perfect early Christmas present to yourself or a carnivorous loved one.

Hope to see you there!

Hand Crafted Woodwork

Published on 28 February 2014

Hand Crafted Woodwork with James Carroll, March 6th, Dublin 8.

James Carroll has been making furniture of different types in Co Wicklow for a while now. At some point he stumbled across the ‘pre industrial’ method of woodworking. Somehow this has largely been sidelined for the last century as a result of increased time saving machinery. James finds using hand tools and unprocessed wood not only aids the design process but also means there is a more direct relationship with the tree and the material.

On the night, James will demonstrate some of these techniques and tools and go through the basics of using a knife, an axe, a shaving horse and more. You will be able to try your hand at working green wood in this age old way that has much relevance in a modern context. Working in this way it is apparent how efficient it is to split and shape wood using edge tools.

While the evening is just a brief introduction it will hopefully provide enough of a taste to encourage further investigation. Regardless of this there is just something deeply satisfying about making shavings.

If the thought of going back to your pre-industrial roots sounds good or you just want to lose yourself in some wood shavings, let us know asap.

Price is €15, venue is South Studios (D8), kick off is 7.30pm. Date is 6th March

Class size is 15 people with potential for a second round if demand demands

The Jameson Butchers

Published on 01 October 2013

Now we don’t want to give to much away about this as it’s quite a nice surprise but we do need to give you a few details about what to expect:

Hidden beneath a Dublin shop front lies a secret whiskey bar. above it sits a seemingly quiet reading room. Many of you pass them everyday but have never noticed, this is intentional. For in this space, far from the maddening crowds, we will learn about, sample and admire some of the best whiskies in the land.

Our night will be spit into two parts:

1: Liam Donegan, one of Jameson’s distillers will host an Irish whiskey mentoring session, ranging from reserves to single pot still Irish whiskies.

2: Liam Sparks, the Jameson mixoligist, will conduct a crash course on the history and making of Classic Irish cocktails.

After this we retire to the bar to sample some more of the above and be fed the manliest of meals.

This is a free event with thanks to Jameson. Places are very limited though and will be offered on a first come, first served basis for members.
